Engine Assembly

Engine Lubrication

When oil changes are extended beyond recommended intervals, engine sludge can form. (Sludge obstructs oil passages and restricts oil flow, leading to premature engine damage.)

The engine oil and Genuine Mitsubishi filter are the key ingredients to engine performance and longevity. Regular oil and filter changes prevent excessive engine wear; keep the engine cool; and ensure long term reliability.

Mitsubishi Genuine Parts & Oil

*The repair of damage caused by the parts or services not prescribed by the Warranty and Maintenance Manual (such as using non-genuine parts or excessive oil change intervals), is not covered under warranty.

- Restores engine start-ability - Stabilizes idling - Reduces engine noise - Restores acceleration performance - Better rotation gain at high rotation speed

Air Cleaner Element

An air cleaner is vital to engine performance. As outside air travels through the intake on its way to the engine, it passes through the air cleaner element. Dirt and debris, harmful to an engine, are trapped in the air cleaner element.

Over time, as more material is trapped, the air flow rate decreases, restricting the air that the engine needs. If the air cleaner element is not replaced, engine power, acceleration and fuel economy are reduced.

Using a non-genuine element may cause irreparable damage inside the engine.

Timing Belt

The engine's timing belt drives the camshaft (s) ("top end") from the rotation of the crankshaft ("bottom end"). The belt keeps the piston and valves in "time" during operation. Serious internal engine damage can occur when the piston and valves come into contact with each other "out-of-time" caused by a damaged belt etc. In the worst case, the engine assembly will need to be replaced.

Failure to replace the timing belt at the recommended interval may lead to belt fatigue and breakage, which can result in costly engine repairs.

Drive Belt

The drive belt (including fan belt, power steering belt, A/C belt) is a consumable part that is very important to the efficient operation of engine accessory components such as the alternator, power steering, air conditioner, engine cooling system etc.

In the worst case of a damaged or cut drive belt,

- The battery will be discharged and will result in an inability to start the engine - Hard and heavy steering wheel operation - Insufficient Air Conditioning System

A symptom of deterioration of the drive belt is a squeaking sound from the engine. The drive belt (s) should be inspected before serious damage could occur.

Engine Cooling System

Excessive heat is detrimental to the engine. The key components of the cooling system (radiator, water pump, thermostat and hoses) transfer heat away from the engine through the circulation of coolant. This maintains the normal operating temperature of the engine.

Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC)

MITSUBISHI SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT achieves excellent performance that is required: - Lasts longer - Minimum Replacement Interval - 4 Years or 60,000km - Prevents metal corrosion of the cooling system for a long period of time. - Prevents overheating - Antifreeze - Usable in all vehicles manufactured by MITSUBISHI MOTORS.

To avoid any problems caused by the conventional method with poor dilution 30% Pre-Mixed 50% Pre-Mixed mixing with water, Pre-mixed SLLC is specified for your vehicle.

Spark Plugs

Spark plugs carry a high voltage into the engine's combustion chamber and convert it into a spark, igniting the air/fuel mixture. This generates the power that keeps the engine running. Even at idle, each spark plug fires 375 times per minute.

Over time, the spark plug's tip (electrode) wears out.

The outer shell (insulation) may even crack or separate allowing the voltage to exit the plug where it is not intended. Misfire results, which causes the engine to run rough and lowers fuel economy.

Clutch System (Manual Transmission [M/T] )

Clutches are designed to slip when engaged so the vehicle doesn't jerk or lurch forward when taking off. Once the clutch pedal is fully released, the clutch should hold firm and not chatter, slip, or catch and provide a solid coupling between the engine and transmission. If this doesn't occur, investigation is required.

Clutch Disc (Manual Transmission [M/T] )

Slipping or chatter are most noticeable when the engine is under load, as when the vehicle is travelling at low speed in a high gear, when driving up a hill, when accelerating to overtake another vehicle, or when towing a trailer. Slippage increases friction and produces heat which leads to hot spots on the pressure plate. The hotter the clutch gets, the less able it is to maintain its grip, and the more it slips. The vicious cycle that results can burn the clutch facings and damage the flywheel and pressure plate.

Transmission

Due to the need for good performance of Transmission operation, lubrication of transmission is one of the most important maintenance items. This is required for two types of transmissions.

The repair of damage, that is caused because incorrect parts or services being used were not prescribed by the Warranty and Maintenance Manual, will result in the vehicle not being covered under warranty.

Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF) For smooth gear rotation and change, a sufficient quantity of manual transmission fluid is necessary. If the same transmission fluid is used longer than recommended, in the worst case, the following symptoms might occur: - Gear shifting noise - Damage or breakage to gears To avoid any potential mechanical problems and ensure reliable performance, MTF replacement of Mitsubishi Genuine Fluid is recommended with periodical maintenance schedules.

New (Clean) Used (Dirty: Need to be replaced)

Mitsubishi Genuine MTF

Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) ATF is required to perform two functions. - Lubricant oil (lubrication, cooling and cleaning) - Hydraulic oil (power transmission)

If the same transmission fluid is used longer than recommended, in the worst case, the following symptoms could occur: - Harder automatic shifting shock - Increased fuel consumption - Damage or breakage of gears

To avoid any potential mechanical problems and ensure reliable performance, ATF replacement of Mitsubishi Genuine Fluid is recommended with periodical maintenance schedules.

Driveshaft Boots

Role of drive shaft CV joint & boot (CV Joint : Constant Velocity Joint) - The CV Joint transmits the power of the engine to the wheels. Bearings are used in the CV Joint as it transmits rotation and absorbs vibration while driving or movement by steering the wheels. - Drive shaft boots are an important part that protect the joint of the axle (CV Joint) from dirt, water and contaminants.

Time for replacement of driveshaft boots - Boots should be replaced before they tear. Otherwise a expensive repair such as replacement of the driveshaft may be required.

Tires

Importance of tire function Tires are very important for vehicle performance in the areas of: - Sustaining vehicle weight (Load performance) - Transmission of drive & braking force (Traction & braking performance) - Control of driving direction on straight roads or while turning (Stability performance) - Absorbing of vibration from the road (Comfort ability performance)

Proper maintenance is required to secure maximum tread life, tire durability and fuel economy.

Tire Inflation All tires build up heat when in motion. Air pressure may increase by approximately 15% from a cold state to a warm state during operation. Always check and adjust air pressure when a tire is cold to obtain accurate readings.

Wheel alignment consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the vehicle manufacturer's specification. The purpose of these adjustments is to maximise tread life and drive stability along straight and level roads, crowned roads, as well as correct racking when driving on turns.

Brake System

Brake Fluid

Brake fluid is very important to ensure the correct and safe operation of the vehicle's braking system. Brake fluid is the oil used to transmit the hydraulic pressure produced by the driver and boosted by a brake booster to each brake caliper or brake drum. Brake fluid easily absorbs moisture which lowers the boiling temperature of the brake fluid. Deteriorated brake fluid may not transmit the hydraulic pressure to each wheel. Moisture absorbed in brake fluid can also cause rust inside the brake system Mitsubishi Genuine Brake Fluid leading to cylinder and piston malfunction. Periodical replacement of brake fluid is recommended.

Brake Warning Lamp When this lamp is illuminated, - Brake fluid level is too low - Parking brake is still working - ABS Failure are possible causes. Check as soon as possible at a Mitsubishi dealer.

Brake Fluid Level (Should be between MAX. and MIN.)

Brake Pad

When the brake pad thickness becomes 2mm or less, metal wear indicators will emit a squealing sound to warn the driver to replace the brake pads. If you drive your vehicle with worn brake pads and brake rotors the following problems may occur: - metal-to-metal contact between pads and rotors may result in costly repairs - the brake system will not function properly and can result in a serious accident.

New (Enough Thickness) Worn (Need to be replaced)

Battery

Check the electrolyte level Electrolyte is most important for battery performance and needs to be maintained between max and min lines. If the electrolyte level is lower than the minimum line, it should be refilled using distilled water. In the case of an equipped indicator on the battery, check the battery condition with the correct procedure of the battery manufacturer.

Deterioration of Battery performance

Battery terminal condition Battery Tester Check Looseness, Corrosion

For a total battery performance check, an approved battery tester is available at Mitsubishi dealers. Battery performance levels can be checked with accurate results.

Wiper Blade Rubber

The wiper blade rubber is a consumable part required for effective driving visibility. The rubber blades need to be replaced if the wiping condition on the front windscreen is not clear due to deterioration.

The rubber can deteriorate from dust and debris, sunshine and general use over time.

Before the changing of seasons that bring conditions such as rain or hot and dry weather, it is a good opportunity to check the wiper blade condition at a Mitsubishi Authorized Dealer.

Genuine wiper blade rubbers are the best fit for your Mitsubishi vehicle. If your wiper blade is jumping or fluctuating on the windscreen it is a good time to have them replaced.

Air Conditioning System

A cabin air purifier filter is recommended to be replaced periodically. Similar in function to an engine air cleaner element, the cabin air filter helps capture circulating dust and unwanted air particles before they enter the cabin of the vehicle. These unwanted air particles can affect the comfort and health of the driver and passengers alike.

Keep the air inside your vehicle fresh and clean by replacing the filter as recommended.

New (Clean) Used (Dirty: Need to be replaced)

Evaporator Cleaner

On the evaporator surface condensation occurs and a thin film of moisture is formed. Gradually dust and other particles in the air build up on this film, causing poor circulation efficiency, bad smells and the cooling effectiveness of the air-conditioner is reduced.

MITSUBISHI Genuine Evaporator Cleaner removes the cause of unpleasant odors and maintains a comfortable car environment.
